For Rhys, Little League Classic like going home

For Rhys Hoskins, this weekend in Williamsport, Pa., will spark memories of California summer nights, of little fields and big dreams, of free snow cones for all. That was the policy at Whitney Little League outside Sacramento and five minutes from Hoskins’ childhood home, where the future Phillies cleanup hitter first swung for chain-link fences. Every player earned an icy postgame treat, win, lose or draw.
